ROBERSON'S STRANGE CASE.
A man Who Lives with His
Throat Gus from Ear to Ear.

"A =" MO AhAb
Throat Gus from Ear to Ear.
G.. B. Robertson, the South Spring
street furniture dealer, who cut his
throat on Thursday night to escape the
disgrace of a trial for arson, a few min.
utes after his arrest, is, Notwithstanding
the gravity of his horrible wounds. still
alive. The vitality of the man is con.
sidered wonderful by the doctors. His
death lie, however, but a question of q
day or two, as he is bound to succumb to
inanition. No evidence of any kind
tending to implicate j. H. Heffner, the
partner, in the conspiracy, has been dis.
covered. The police are satisfied of his
innocence. Heffner's friends were de.
sirous of bringing him up before Judge
Cheney yesterday afternoon on writ of
habeas corpus, but Chief Skinner
released Heffner before that step
had been taken. Robertson was
yesterday evening carried home in
a hack, where he is now, under the
guard OF an officer, being cared tor by
his nearly distracted young wife. The

butcher at Dodson's meat market are en-
titled to q reward of $500 from the
Und nderwriter's Association, according to
a printed circular of theirs, offering q
standing reward Of that amount for the
capture of tirebugs. The motive of
Roberson's criminal attempt is still mys.
terious, yet it is believed now that he
was tired of the business, his share of
which he had attempted to sell out, and
failing in this it is thought he became
desperate and stopped at nothing to OBJ

PATRICK,S PLANT.
How He WINS Treated by His
WIfe,s Folks.

DENVER, January 2l.-James M.
Patrick, a wealthy ranchman near
Denver, has brought suit in the courts
OF st. Louis to recover his infant child,
dollars, and is supposed to have been
abducted by his wife's people in order
to secure the property. Patrick in 1879
married daughter of McManus, very
wealthy man of st. Louis, on which oc.
casion the presents to the bride amout-
ed to fifty thousand dollars. The
couple settled in Bradley county Ten
nessee where the daughter was born.
In 1884 his wife's health failed and the
family moved to Colorado, where they
purchased a cattle ranch. Accord.
ing to Patrick's story, in the mean.
time dlssensions arose in McManus'
family in which the child figured, it be-
ing the intention of McManus to get
possession of the child. divorce the
mother on the plea of desertion, and
keep the property in the family. While
z trick was fixing up the ranch he sent
his wife and child to Canon City, where
a sister of Mrs. Patrick from st. Louis
visited them. Soon after this the hus.
band could receive no answers from let.
ters or kilograms to his wife, so he went
to Cafion City only TO discover that his
wife, child and sister.in-law had sudden
ly departed and left no wor1 behind as
to their whereabouts. The wife at this
time was i'll and could not leave her bed.
He Immediately went to st. Louis
where he learned that his wife was at
her fathers house, but he was not per.
mitted to visit her. On the 9th of Octo-
ber last his wife died, leaving an estate
Of over hundred thousand dollars, in.
Guiding the bridal present of fifty thous.
and dollars, which fell into the hands of
the McManus family. Not only did
they secure this. but so influenced the
wife that she disinherited the child aud
left her fortune to her brother, Ward
McManus. The child has been taken
away and cannot be found. Patrick
thinks she is confined in some asylum in
Canada. He has brought suit for the
recovery of the child, also the $50. 900

transportation of passengers wholly by
railroads or partly by railroads and
partly by water when both are used,

Territory, or from any place in the
United States to an adjacent foreign
country. 1t provides for the transpor-
tation of passengers or of property under
substantially similar circumstances and
conditions for shorter than for longer
distances over the same line in the same
direction, the shorter being included
within the longer distance, but this
shall not be construed as authorizing

A Charitable Governor.

DETROIT, January 2l.-Informaticn
of another of Governor R. A. Alger's
benevolences has just leaked out through
fuel and -four dealers who were con-
nected with the enterprise. Through
his private secretary and few trusted
friends he found five hundred needy
families during the recent cold snap,
and to each Of them was sent barrel
of -four and ton of coal or cord of
wood. The scenes at the delivery of
the needed gifts were often pitiful and
pathetic, many families being entirely
destitute.

JOHN LENOX,
The slayer of d. CaPpetti Par-
dOned.

A HERALD reporter this morning at
one o'clock met gentleman who arrived
from San Francisco yesterday. and who
brings the report that John Lenox has
been pardoned. Lenox some two years
AGO. on a certain Sunday at the town of
Newhall, killed an Italian named d..
Cappetti. This one and Lenox had had
some difficulty, and the latter being
intoxicated on this particular day, saw
his victim going across field and gave
chase. The italian ran, but Lenox over
took him and beat his brains out with
club.
The late Colonel Godfrey was Leuox's
attorney when he was tried for the
crime. The case was 50 strong that
Godfrey advised his client to plead
guilty, with the view of getting life
sentence instead of death. Lennox con.
tended against this, but finally yielded.
Captain Henry M. Smith was at the
time Judge, and the case was tried before
him. He very promptly sentenced Len
nox to be hanged. The culprit was not so
much astonished as was the attorney.
Godfrey worked night and day to get
the Executive to commute the sentence.
He is said to lave made the
statement that if Lennox was hanged
he would feel as if his blood was on his
hands. Governor Stoneman refused to
interfere. Godfrey, who had gone to
Sacramento, came home and died soon
afterwards of heart disease. Many
think this lamentable occurrence was the
result OF his brooding over the fate of
his client. This thought is rumored to
have weighed so much with Stoneman
that he did for Godfrey dead, what he
would not do for him alive. At any
rate Lenox' sentence was committed to
imprisonment for life. and he was sent
to the penitentiary.
At this time two other murderers,
Silvas and Martinez were in Jail here un.
der sentence of death. Great efforts
were made to get their lives spared, but
in vain. They paid the penalty and
were hanged in the old Jail yard. Then
the residence of Governor Stoneman at
San Gabriel was destroyed by fire in
most mysterious manner. The impress.
sion took fast hold of the popular mind
that friends of the men just executed
could clear up all that is dark about a
fire which had all the marks Of being
incendiary.
These facts are given because of the
many sombre circumstances surrounding
the case of the man whose return to the
city is noted above. Lenox states that
his pardon was one of the last official
&c oe nc 1tha rdnr, VIZ
granted on the 3lst day of December
last. Lenox had been in the penitenti.
ary about year and half. His was
one of the narrowest escapes on record
in the county for many long day.

The Chinese Treaty.

WAsHINGToN, January 2l.-Secretary
Bayard states that the new treaty with
China may not be sent to the Senate for
several weeks. Mr.. Bayard says the
treaty will accomplish all and even more
than could be secured through any legis-
lative enactment, which could hardly
fail to be offensive and irritating. He
represents the Chinese Minister as being
disposed to act fairly and literally in the
matter, and says that beyond doubt the
treaty, when it shall be completed, will
be wholly satisfactory to the people Of
the Pacific coast.

A SWindle.

CHICAGO, January 2l.-A scheme to
use General Logan's name for swindling
purposes was discovered here to-day.
Solicitors representing that they were
about to publish, under the auspices OF
the G.. A. R., life of General Logan,
part of the proceeds to go to Mrs.
Logan, took orders for books at ten cents
each and sold the back page of the
cover of the whole edition to number
of persons for $50. When the book
came out the advertiser discovered that
the advertisements were only published
in few copies. The G. A. r. repudi.
ates any connection with the affair. The
printer of the books refuses to say who
the principals in the scheme are.

all it can to insure the acceptance of the

HARVEY FOUND.
He was Shanghaied and Taken
to sea.

to sea.
SAN FRANCISCO, January 2l.-The
whereabouts have been learned of
Thomas NJ. Harvey, an engineer, who
left his home with two friends on the
night of December 18th last, and who
has since been missing. Mrs. Harvey
has received a letter dated Honolulu,
from her husband, explaining his dis.
appearance. He wrote that on the
night he left home he went with his
friends to take q drink and suddenly
became unconscious. When he came
too next morning, he found that he
and his friends had been shanghaied on
board whaling vessel bound for the
Arctic regions, and were then several
miles at sea. At Honolulu the three
tried to escape, but were recaptured.
The pros poets are that Harvey will not
be able to return to his family until fall,
when the whaling feet returns.
HARvEY's HISTORY.
Thomas Harvey, who disappeared on
the 18th of December and whose wife
received letter yesterday from him
stating that be had been Shanghaied on
board whaler, has been discovered to
be the man who, under the name of
Thomas WATSON, was sentenced on Sat.
urday to six years imprisonment in San
Quentin for stealing ten-cent purse
from woman. Suspicion was
first aroused as to the truth
of the statements in the letter
from the fact that the letter was
dated only two weeks back, and that
no mention was made as 10 the vessel he
had been Shanghaied aboard. This led
to the examination of the envelope.
and it was found to have San Francis
co postmark. Detectives took the case
in hand, with the above result. Harvey
had written to his wife in the hope of
keeping her in ignorance of his disgrace.
When she was informed of the true
state of affairs she was very much af.
fected and shed tears copiously.
